Did they consider possibly maybe perhaps waking and asking the uninjured driver?

I think that it is more likely that the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel BEFORE his minivan ploughed into a roadside guardrail.

Not new, maybe just overly optimistic that there maybe someone out there that doesn't feel the need to pick-up the phone immediatley when it sends a notification.
